Mrs. Sarah D. Venerable [sic], born near Knoxville, Tenn, 59 years ago, passed to her reward in the home prepared for prepared people Thursday morning, March 14, 1918, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. W.B. Davis, in South Hereford.
Although not in robust health, she was sick only a few days, with a complication of ailments which she had been burdened with for several years.
The passing away of this gentle faithful life saddened the hearts of her many friends in Hereford, who loved her and esteemed her highly. She always proved her self totally equal if not superior wherever she was placed, and never fell below the demand of responsibility placed upon her.
She loved the teachings of the Holy Book and lived in modesty and simplicity a life of unselfish service, leaving a rich heritage of a life well spent to her children, grandchildren, and friends.
I do not think she wants us to be sad except in so far as we cannot help in the missing of her; she had faith to beileve [sic] that,
"God is overhead,
And, as life is to the living,
So death is to the dead."
Funeral services were conducted by Rev. J.E. McClurkin and Rev. W. H. Terry, at the Methodist church after which her body was laid away in the City cemetery. Nothing could more fittingly express the esteem and regard in which she was held by the neighbors and friends than the final tribute which was paid to her with the beautiful floral offerings.
A genuine message of heartfelt sympathy is extended to the bereaved ones.
Mrs. Venerable [sic] is survived by a son, who lived in St. Louis, Mo., Mrs. W. B. David of Hereford, a sister in Knoxville, Tenn., and six grandchildren. The son and sister were unable to be here for the funeral.
